A select group of colorful fruits and vegetables, such as grapes, broccoli, chile peppers, and strawberries, is rich in inflammation fighting antioxidants and salicylic acid. (Yes, that's the inflammation quencher that's in aspirin.) Research shows that these superfoods can protect your heart. What's best they taste a whole lot better than aspirin!

Directions

1.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium low heat. Add the garlic, and cook gently for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes (with juice), vinegar, basil, and red pepper flakes. Increase the heat, and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

3.

While the sauce is simmering, add the pasta to the boiling water. When the pasta is almost done, add the broccoli to the pot, and cook for 2 minutes longer.

4.

Drain the pasta and broccoli, and transfer them to a large bowl. Add the sauce, and toss well. Sprinkle with the feta cheese.

This recipe was excellent. Very easy, and very tasty. I shredded fresh basil to put in the sauce, and it definitely gave the sauce a great flavor. It's easy to make the sauce more or less spicy just by simply adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes up or down, but this recipe has a good starting point.<br/><br/>Also, if you are someone who loves lots of sauce on your pasta, you may want to make a little bit more sauce or a little bit less pasta, because the quantities on here do not produce a really generous helping of sauce, but it has so much flavor that these quantities work just fine together anyway.
